Elderly people aged 50 to 60 or above generally have some chronic diseases, regardless of how well their conditions are controlled.
They should still undergo regular follow-ups and examinations of their diseases.

The interval of regular checkups also varies from person to person. Young people should have one checkup per year.
Adults, in general, should have two checkups per year, elderly people and high-risk groups should have two to three checkups per year, and patients with chronic diseases should be examined according to the time suggested to patients and their conditions.
